You sure know how to lure a 'lady' back! ,-) I come and what do I find here, but a GOLDEN DUNG FLY! -giggles- <BR/><BR/>He lures. And he doesn't disappoint! If you doubt my statement, read the following, from this entry... "Dung, of course. When the larvae hatch they consume the dung as they develop into pupae" Come now, wouldn't that elicit an "Ugh" from most anyone?!? >,-))))<BR/><BR/>Mari-Nanci<BR/><A HREF="http://photoscitymine.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Photos-City-Mine</A>smilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-49896926147515673642008-06-12T05:09:00.000-05:002008-06-12T05:09:00.000-05:00I have heard the saying..

As is your dung fly. Never saw them on any piles of dung -- horse, cows, sheep, pig, goat, human -- I wonder if they are specialists? I would have thought I would see them but I never saw them eating other flies either. LOL <BR/><BR/>I should go back to bed. I ache all over anyway.
